Hello  
**Env description :**  
I have a cluster of two nodes with a Jetty app.  
The application generate log on the file /var/log/jetty/jetty.log  
The log rotation is handle by logrotate avery day at 6:30.  
On both I run filebeat with the same configuration:

> filebeat.inputs:
> 
> - type: log  
> enabled: true  
> multiline:  
> pattern: '^[?[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}|\[1\]{4}/[0-9]{2}/[0-9]{2}|^ts=[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}|\[2\]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3} - - [[0-9]{1,2}/\w{3}/[0-9]{4}:'

> username: "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"  
> password: "XXXX"
>

> # - dissect:

> # field: "message"  
> # target\_prefix: "dissect"  
> # %{TIMESTAMP\_ISO8601:timestamp} : %{LOGLEVEL:level} - %{WORD:service} | %{GREEDYDATA:logmessage}

and with the logstash module configuration /etc/filebeat/modules.d/logstash.yml :

> - module: logstash  
> # logs  
> log:  
> enabled: true
> 
> # Set custom paths for the log files. If left empty,  
> # Filebeat will choose the paths depending on your OS.  
> #var.paths:
> 
> # Slow logs  
> slowlog:  
> enabled: true  
> # Set custom paths for the log files. If left empty,  
> # Filebeat will choose the paths depending on your OS.  
> #var.paths:

But only on one of them I have a consumption problem.

First this morning I observe that the logs stop to be sent to logstash since 6:30, and the Filebeat process consume lot of memory and CPU, so I decide to restart it, but it does not restart to log file processing.

Any ideas ?  
Do you want more detail ?

Could you provide the output from the Filebeat process and/or it's log file?
